Publication number: 20250059921Abstract: A method for reducing a clearance gap between a plurality of rotor blades and a shroud assembly of an engine includes determining, with a flight control system, that an airplane is in a first flight condition. The method also includes adjusting the clearance gap to a first clearance gap distance associated with the first flight condition. Further, the method includes receiving, with the flight control system, a demand for a second flight condition. During the second flight condition, the method includes adjusting at least two independently controllable parameters, the at least two independently controllable parameters comprising, at least, a first parameter for optimizing the clearance gap and a second parameter for satisfying a thrust demand of the engine, the first parameter having a first impact on the clearance gap, the second parameter having a second impact on the clearance gap, the first impact being greater than the second impact.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: February 20, 2025Inventors: Michael Scott McCambridge, Logan Daniel Fritz, David Marion Ostdiek, Timothy M.

Publication number: 20240255455Abstract: A vessel includes a memory and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The memory is configured to store a vessel identifier. The processor is configured to initiate a timer for a shelf life of a solution placed into the vessel. The processor is also configured to conduct a measurement of the solution using one or more sensors in the vessel. The processor is also configured to compare the measurement to a threshold for the solution. The processor is further configured to activate a solution indicator to indicate that the solution should be discarded responsive to a determination that the shelf life has expired or a determination that the measurement exceeds the threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2024Publication date: August 1, 2024Applicant: Diversey, Inc.Inventors: Jan Eduard Veening, Lambertus Gerardus Petrus van der Heijden, David Holden, Arnoud Gengler

Patent number: 11816738Abstract: According to some embodiments, a risk relationship data store may contain electronic records, each electronic record representing a risk relationship between an enterprise and a risk relationship provider (e.g., an insurer), and including, for each risk relationship, an electronic record identifier and a set of roof attribute values. A back-end application computer server may receive, from a third-party data source, roof information for a roof of a building associated with a risk relationship. The computer server may then correlate the received roof information with a particular electronic record in the risk relationship data store. A roof attribute value of the particular electronic record may be updated in accordance with the roof information received from the third-party data source, and a predictive analytics engine of the computer server may then calculate a roof risk score associated with the particular electronic record.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Hartford Fire Insurance CompanyInventors: Lane Garrison Coonrod, Sean David Holden
